Patient's question:
The child first coughed for a day, and by the third day, they had a high fever. They were taken to the hospital for medication and intravenous fluids. The condition improved slightly during the day, but they had another high fever at night and went back to the hospital. They used fever reducer patches and were prescribed more medication. However, the fever still persisted in the morning, so they returned to the hospital for more medication and intravenous fluids. The condition improved a bit during the day, but by night, the cough and fever returned. At one point, their hands and feet became cold, and then they had a very high fever again. Today, they are still coughing and having a high fever. What should we do?Besides hernia, the child has a weak constitution. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: They used to have frequent fevers, with recurring episodes! This time, after two days of medication and intravenous fluids at the hospital, the condition hasn’t improved. They have been to the hospital twice. What kind of help is desired: Is there any way to cure their high fever and cough?
Doctor's answer:
The child is just four years old and has been experiencing recurrent high fevers with coughing that has not improved significantly with treatment. It is not appropriate to focus blindly on treatment at this point. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination, such as a complete blood count, mycoplasma test, chest X-ray, etc., to identify the pathogen. The baby likely has high fever symptoms triggered by a fever, and it would be better to actively take fever-reducing medications and antipyretic drugs for treatment.Advice: The above is advice for the question "Child has a fever and cough for 2 days, had a high fever of 41°C last night." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
